I think this could very well be the beginning of the end for ACORN.
They really stepped in it this time.
I think now ACORN, their subsidiaries, satellite offices and affiliates will all be investigated in almost all states for a variety of criminal activities including but not limited to obstruction of justice, voter fraud and intimidation, bribery, racketeering, money laundering and income tax evasion.
FOX told them to do it? FOX should demand an apology from
Big Bertha or file its own suit.

Andrew Breitbart, James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles probably aren’t too upset that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) filed a lawsuit against them. It would make great fodder for more videos exposing ACORN’s troubled ways.
ACORN is suing Mr. O’Keefe and Ms. Giles for secretly videotaping its employees giving advice on how to obtain federal funds to run a brothel, and Mr. Breitbart for posting the videos on his Web site.
After hearing news of the lawsuit claiming Maryland wiretapping laws were violated, legal specialists scratched their heads. By filing the lawsuit, ACORN has given the defendants the right to force ACORN to disclose a broad range of information related to the lawsuit through a process called discovery.
Fox News host Greta Van Susteren, a former prosecutor, wrote on her blog Greta Wire that whoever decided ACORN should sue was an “idiot.”
“They are going to get hit with interrogations, requests for production of documents, depositions, etc.,” she wrote. “And who will get deposed? Just about everybody! And if that discovery produces evidence of a crime? You can be sure that evidence would be fed ex’ed to the Justice Department!...”
